Occasionally, if a monster gets close enough to him, he'll utter one of the most quoted phrases from a movie ever."Say hello to my little friend!"

Saw him walking in front of a tower in Western Plaguelands (55,33). He was just walking around and I picked up the quests there. I've never seen him patrol.

He is normally standing outside his house on the East side of the river between the Eastern and Western Plaguelands. He can sometimes be found just outside Hearthglen if someone is at the end of the very long quest chain he starts, although he has a slightly different name and title.

He offers a nice set of three grinding quests at the beginning, which can be pretty handy while you're levelling (Demon Dogs, Carrion Grubbage and Blood Tinged Skies), which lead on to a long and arduous quest chain through various instances and elite zones - during which you find out who he actually is, and why he lives alone in EPL.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Tirion has been confirmed as the leader of the resurrected Order of the Silver Hand in Northrend, and will be involved in the continuation of the Ashbringer story arc as well as other important events in the expansion.

He is the main character in the Warcraft book "Of Blood and Honor".

Best quest-giver NPC ever. If you have enemies chasing you when you run up to him, he'll activate devotion aura, which affects you too, and will heal you with holy light as he fights the enemies.

Comment by h4xninja

An awesome Questgiver, 3 simple quests which you can complete simultaneously although the slab of carrian etc quest can take a while because of a low droprate.

Like Tony Montana from Scarface.

Lord Tirion Fordring was governor of Hearthglen and father of Highlord Taelan Fordring Who is commander of the Scarlet Crusade.

He is the only KNOWN surviving founder of the silver hand (Turalyon not being confirmed as dead would be the second survivor, if he is indeed alive as rumored)

Shortly after the beginning of the WC3 story arch, Tirion, met an old hermit orc named Eitrigg. Eitrigg was not the mindless savage beast Tirion was used to associating with orcs, and after speaking with him evaluated that Eitrigg was no threat to his people and gave his word that he would be allowed to live out his years in peace and solitude.

When it became knowledge that Tirion had given his word to the orc he was exiled by Uther and stripped of the light. He was then banished and forced to live in exile, Eitrigg was scheduled to be hung.

Unable to sit by as Eitrigg, Tirion vowed to do whatever he was able to rescue him, eventually succeeding in rescuing him from the gallows.

The light returned to Tirion when he pleaded with it to help him save the innocent Eitrigg's life.

His entire quest chain, although hard to do now due to it involving the rarely done Strat live instance, is among one of the most enjoyable and lore heavy chains in the entire game.

He starts you out with the simple "Bring a little order to the land" style quests:

Taelen Won. By a lot. Mainly because he's 3 levels above and has 4 adds.

I feel terrible :(

Edit: To make up for my crime, I kited them back to eachother and Healspammed Tirion, and after a very long time he eventually won.

scarface is the movie that line is from

Comment by tinynurse

Don't know why the dot says 7, 43.

He is at 5, 38

Comment by Azaz

Despite being a key NPC in a couple different places in Wrath of the Lich King content, this "incarnation" of Tirion is still present in Eastern Plaguelands and his quests are still obtainable.

Many players new to the game since the release of TBC do not seem to be aware of his quest chain--he is after all, a bit tucked away in a part of EPL that is out of the way compared to the Light's Hope Chapel quest hub--but it's definitely not one to miss if you enjoy quest chains driven heavily by lore.

His quests are also a nice way to add to your total for the Loremaster of the Eastern Kingdoms achievement.

**Spoiler Alert**!

In Icecrown - Northrend, this guy is wearing the Cleansed Ashbringer. So I guess he is the Ashbringer for now

Comment by gubugu

In the WOTLK he is now the ''Highlord Tirion Fordring'' the most powerful enemy against the Lich King

as a DK, you are only remembering about when you did those quests while you were still alive.

Dk's are alive, they were enslaved by the lich king...

Comment by Rankkor

Dk's are alive, they were enslaved by the lich king...

o really? and tell me then, what exactly is instructor razovius doing to the huge pile of corpses on the second floor of acherus? waking them up?

that pile is made of corpses of heroes of the alliance and the horde, who died in combat against the scourge.

these are resurected, but not with the plage wich turns them into zombies, rather they are resurected with necromancy, and black magic, thus allowing them to remain in a state of relative preservation.

a death knight that falls into pieces is kinda useless, they need these knights to have hard durable bodys, and that's the reason Death knights are a rare breed of undead that still look rather well preserved, but are still undead.

for gameplay reasons player-DK's are treated as simple Humanoids, much the same way as forsaken players are treated as such, to make the game balanced, but trust me bro' on lore all DK's are undead. (why do you think they have the creepy voices? for fun?)

Comment by Linkman

This is the leader of the Argent Crusade.

Comment by shmog

I did the kill quests and now I can't get his other quests, no exclamation mark and no quest when i talk to him.

Lvl 68 Troll Dk, btw

EDIT:

@hhjwong

Did. :(

Comment by paulbrock

He can be found at Eastern Plaguelands 5,38

Comment by xpuntar

And for exactly the same reason Feral Druids should not be susceptible to class specific CC spells (primary for use in PvE!), like Scare Beast and even Hibernate.

If Feral Druid in form is capable to completely dismiss Mage's Polymorph then s/he should also be able to "see through" Hunter's Scare Beast as well.

Comment by Varleen

I see it this way: player-character dks are in a state between live and undeath. They are alive but their bodies show signs of undeads. After all they are resurrected using a form of necromancy. Besides, if you remember, Koltira mentions something about having broken ribs and internal bleed. That means they are somehow alive.

Comment by karlww

He's gone :( Now in Hearthglen. I miss hermit-tirion.

Comment by FiatUno45

Aw, why did they have to move him?

Now the 2nd last farm in Eastern Plaguelands is Abandoned. :(

R.I.P

The Marris Stead was also recently abandoned after the guy that was there moved away too.. honestly these two farms lived longer then Stratholme.
